Description Axel Braun 2019-08-04 08:58:12 UTC

In a zip archive, I have three folder:
root folder
|- folder 1
|- folder 2

I mark folder 1 and 2 and select 'unpack' -> only selected files and 'keep path on unpack'

Result:
all folders as above are unpacked

expected result:
folder 1 and 2 with its content are unpacked

Is this a bug or is my expectation wrong?

I think this is correct behavior.

Consider the following archive.

My-Folder
|- lorem.txt
|- ipsum.txt

Let's say you extract (and have only selected) "lorem.txt" to /tmp.

If you have checked "keep path on unpack", then Ark keeps the folder structure, 
so you will get /tmp/My-Folder/lorem.txt.

If you have not checked "keep path on unpack", then Ark does not keep the folder structure, and you will get /tmp/lorem.txt.
